3rd game in a row that refs have mega fucked up in a Saints game but I’m far more worried about brees

If you want to win in the NFL, win by TWO SCORES. I have said that for years. I will continue to say it. If you aren't up by 2 scores, you have put yourself at the mercy of a referee mistake. That's the team's fault. They should know going in that being up by 2 scores is a requirement.

I mean when the head of officials calls out for the 3rd game in a row they made a mistake what do you want the team to do? They can't beat the other team and the refs at the same time. We're talking about a touchdown being taken off the board here. Do I think it gives the Saints a win? No, with Brees down I don't think it was going to happen but it would have been a closer game and you never know how the game would have changed with the score being different.

As stated before I'm far more concerned with the Brees injury and if he's able to come back in a reasonable time frame I think we can still make the playoffs and do some damage. You can make fun of Saints fans all you like but if you can't see there is a clear issue with refereeing in the league then I don't know what to tell you. Better hope that shit doesn't happen to your team.

The refs are bad most weeks, but there are way too many plays in a game to have them determine the outcome at the end.

For example, the Broncos/Bears game had 2 head scratching ref moments on the Bear's last drive that can easily be complained about. However Holdor (4 holding calls, should have been more), terrible offensive play calling and Flacco's pick (it was tipped, so not even all on him) were what actually determined the game.

I don't think there was much they could do with Brees going down. You're right, if you want to dodge the refs fucking the game up, be up by 9 or more.

The Jaguars/Texans game was great. What was up with Ramsay throwing a tantrum though? Was it just over that catch or was it something else that set him off? Dude looked like he was about to hulk out big time.

Saints fans aren’t feeling much better with reports that Brees tore a ligament attached to his throwing thumb. The surgery takes around 6 weeks to recover from on average, but it really depends on how he responds.

Bridgewater deserves a chance to play, I hope it goes better than his last two appearances, Payton will surely have to spend more time game planning specifically for him.

I am wondering if the Bridgewater experiment fails how quickly he turns to Taysom Hill. So far Bridgewater hasn't done much to instill confidence but the O-Line didn't do him any favors yesterday either.

Now Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded, so does Taco Charlton, disgruntled players are piling up. Taco isn't surprising, Dallas likes to string guys along and release them as late as possible and had him sitting inactive so far. I guess Jalen isn't surprising either since he is an enormous asshole.
